' IMPROVED STOVE-PIPE CONNECTION.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 44,440, dated September27, 1864.

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I,GEORGE RODNEY MOORE, of the city of Lyons, in thecounty of Clinton and State of Iowa, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in the Mode of Connecting Pipe with Stoves and Heaters; andI do hereby declare the following is a full and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon.

The Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plain cylinder stove with myinvention shown in the usual place of the smoke-pipe.

A is a direct flue from the stove with which the pipe is to beconnected. Its end is cut obliquely at or about an angle of forty-fivedegrees.

B and O constitute one piece, which is cast separately from A. Theoutline of B forms a right-angle triangle and its hypotenuse matches A.

G is the proper flange to receive the smokepipe.

A and B are held firmly together by a rod or bolt, a, and the burr I);By unscrewing 1) upon the bolt a, B will be loosened in its junctionwith A and can then be turned so as to bring G into a direct line, asseen in Fig. 2.

- Thus easily is the pipe placed in either a horizontal or a.perpendicular position, as the operator may wish. It is obvious themanufacturer may give these parts any shape he may wish, only so thatthe parts A and B will match when turned either way-i. e., toaccommodate either a perpendicular or a horizontal pipe.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim therein as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The reversible connection of B and U with A, substantially in the mannerand for the purposes herein set forth.
